GORBACHEV'S COMMENT IS MUCH MORE MEASURED

Mikhail Gorbachev, who guided the Soviet Union to collapse and was awarded prizes and money by the west in return, has also managed to get a comment published in The Washington Post, and it is much more measured, entitled A Path to Peace in the Caucasus.

Gorbachev calls Georgia's initial cold-blooded attack on South Ossetia as "beyond comprehension".

The following quote shows Gorbachev is much more accurate in his analysis and aware of the true events, characteristics not shown in the comments by Bilderbergers.

"The Georgian military attacked the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali with multiple rocket launchers designed to devastate large areas. Russia had to respond. To accuse it of aggression against "small, defenseless Georgia" is not just hypocritical but shows a lack of humanity.

Mounting a military assault against innocents was a reckless decision whose tragic consequences, for thousands of people of different nationalities, are now clear. The Georgian leadership could do this only with the perceived support and encouragement of a much more powerful force. Georgian armed forces were trained by hundreds of U.S. instructors, and its sophisticated military equipment was bought in a number of countries. This, coupled with the promise of NATO membership, emboldened Georgian leaders into thinking that they could get away with a "blitzkrieg" in South Ossetia."
